The Discovery of Animal Behaviour: 3: Search for the Mind

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A natural-history drama in six parts.

Charles Darwin caused Victorian naturalists to seek signs of human-like thoughts and feelings in our fellow creatures: George Romanes constructed a 'theory of mental evolution'; Douglas Spalding devised tests to see what skills animals were born with; and Jacques Loeb designed ways of proving animals were like 'mindless' robots.
